Webinars
Interaction with other people is one of the most fulfilling things in life and now that we are all forced to practice social distancing, we begin to realize it more and more every day.
In Mykonos Olive Oil Tasting we enjoy so much share a table with people from all over the world and teach them everything we know about Olive Oil, Mediterranean Diet, Holistic Wellness, and how to live a happier, healthier and longer life by being inspired by the Mediterranean way of living.
This kind of education changes lives, we see it all the time and we feel blessed when we put a small brick in the building of a new habit, of a new life. But what it is more blessed is Olive Oil.
Olive Oil can bring people closer, open hearts and hugs, awaken senses and emotions, and it can transform people’s lives.
I have discovered that at the end of every workshop when my guests offer me their hugs, smiles, love, and appreciation, or when I receive their e-mails months later telling me how their lives have changed because they now know how to choose good Olive Oil for them and their family, how to pair Olive Oil (the most important everyday cooking staple) with their food, how to cook & eat healthier and how to love and take care of their body inspired by the Mediterranean way of living example.
Since we live in these uncertain times where we do not know how tomorrow will be, when people will travel again or if we will be able to sit around the same table to enjoy Greek EVOO's and since I have missed a lot the interaction with all of you, I have decided to offer the following webinars:
​
1) Olive Oil from A to Z
&
2) Mediterranean Diet - They key to Holistic Wellness
​
These webinars will be delivered by me in real-time through Zoom platform.
​
I will be very happy to meet all of you online.
Sign up and enjoy the ride!

Why attend this webinar
Olive oil is gaining ground & appreciation more and more lately due to its countless health benefits that are being revealed in a never-ending stream of research. Olive oil will help you live longer and healthier they say and that is great news, but are all olive oils good and healthy?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an unprocessed fruit juice that reflects its terroir much like wine, and chefs around the world are only beginning to discover how to use different olive varieties to elevate their dishes to heights they never imagined.
But something else that has come to the forefront is the importance of choosing a high-quality olive oil to get the full advantage of these benefits. There’s a huge difference between a really great olive oil and one pretending to be. Mislabeled and substandard oils are a major concern for people who are responsible for making buying choices and for everyday consumers.
Learning everything about Olive Oil will help you appreciate and enjoy it without worrying if the one you bought is good for your health plus you will surprise your family and friends with the amazing EVOO & Food combinations that you will create!
